[cdi-dev] Having an official CDI tutorial and user forum

[Pete Muir]

Hi Antoine,

There is the great tutorial written by Gavin, that until now we have folded into the Weld ref guide. My suggestion is to extract it back out again, and add a section for getting started with each impl of CDI. 

http://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/2.1.0.Final/en-US/html/

We would include sections I, II, III and IV. We would expand II to cover other impls (hopefully getting contributions from these teams).

WDYT?

Pete

It could allows us to be sure that people have an official overview of the spec and could be enhanced with use cases we would encounter on the web (stack overflow or other).

People starting using CDI or casual users won’t use this mailing list and all of them think to use site like Stack Overflow. It would also a good mean to enhance our FAQ.
